Meet the Mooney Brothers!

Seven years ago, Owen Mooney was diagnosed with a cancer with a 5-year survival rate. The diagnosis changed not only his life, but also those of his three sons. After watching their dad go through years of chemotherapy and several difficult stem cell transplants, all three of them are running for him in the Chicago Marathon! The statistics for this disease are discouraging, but to this family, “statistics are just statistics.” The last several years have been far from easy for Owen, but the Mooneys are happy to report that he is currently in remission. “We pray that while he continues this maintenance chemo, more advances will be made to perhaps even cure this disease once and for all,” they said. The brothers are fighting multiple myeloma side by side with their dad, because theirs is a clan that sticks together!
